Sprint announces new international add-on for Framily Plan subscribers

Sprint's new International Connect: Call & Text $15 add-on plan lets Framily Plan subscribers use their voice and text allotments to call and text internationally at no additional charge. Except for that $15, that is. With it, Sprint Framily Plan subscribers can count international calls to 65 countries against the voice minutes they're already paying for, and texts to more than 180 countries (which is just about all of the countries there are).

There's a lot of minutiae to International Connect: Call & Text, though, so we'll break it down for you. Counted against a Framily Plan allotment are:

Calls to landline numbers in 65 countries

Calls to mobile numbers in 35 countries

"Low" per-minute calls to mobile numbers rates in the 30 landline countries not included in the mobile

"Low" per-minute calls to numbers not included in any of those 65 countries
